[Ndn-interest] Problem of PIT not aggregating Interests

[Junxiao Shi]

Hi yjinking

Aggregation vs retransmission depends on exact timing.
Can you capture traffic on the forwarder node as a pcap file with tcpdump?
I can have a look.
Also paste the output of 'nfdc status' and 'nfdc face' and 'nfdc strategy'
commands.

Yours, Junxiao
